ABSTRACT

An air flow regulator includes a regulating device, regulating unit, and an operating unit. The regulating device is arranged to an air outlet of an air conditioner for regulating air flow coming out. The regulating unit is arranged to the regulating device for expanding or shut the regulating device. The control unit is arranged to the regulating unit to drive the regulating unit so as to control the regulating device. The regulator is arranged to an air diversion of an air conditioner. Users can control the operating unit to regulate the air flow coming out from the air diversion.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to regulator, and particular to an airregulator arranged to a diversion of an air outlet of an air conditionerso as to regulate the air flow coming out.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART

Air conditioners are indispensable equipments in people's life nowadays.In a central air condition system, a large main frame is in a controlroom. Conditioned air from the main frame will be supplied to airconditioners on each floor. The air conditioners on each floor willsupply conditioned air to air outlets all over the floor so as tocontrol temperatures.

However, the air outlets can only supply the conditioned air but can notregulate it so that users will feel uncomfortable for long staying insuch circumstance. To solve this problem, a regulator is arranged to theair outlet of the air conditioner to regulate air flow out from the airoutlet.

The prior regulators are using fans arranged to the air outlet toregulate the air flow of the air outlet. It is very disturbing to removethe air outlet to adjust the regulator. The poor design and theinconvenient of the prior art needs to be corrected and modified.

SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT INVENTION

Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to providean air flow regulator for air conditioner which is arranged to an airoutlet of the air conditioner so that users can regulate the air flowcoming out from the air outlet without remove the air outlet to adjust.

To achieve above object, the present invention provides an air flowregulator for air conditioner arranged to the air outlet of the airconditioner having an air pipe and a diversion. The air flow regulatorfor air conditioner includes a regulating device, regulating unit, andan operating unit. The regulating device is arranged to an air outlet ofan air conditioner for regulating air flow coming out. The regulatingunit is arranged to the regulating device to spread or shut theregulating device. The operating unit is arranged to the regulating unitto drive the regulating unit so as to control the regulating device.

The regulating device has a plurality of fans, and a scale is arrangedto the diversion of the air outlet to show the status of the regulatingdevice.

Comparing to the prior art, the present invention has advantage ofregulating the air flow without removing the air outlet of the airconditioner. Users only have to drive the operating unit to spread orshut the regulating device to regulate the air flow.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In order that those skilled in the art can further understand thepresent invention, a description will be provided in the following indetails. However, these descriptions and the appended drawings are onlyused to cause those skilled in the art to understand the objects,features, and characteristics of the present invention, but not to beused to confine the scope and spirit of the present invention defined inthe appended claims.

Referring to FIG. 1, a schematic view showing a preferable embodiment ofan air flow regulator of the present invention is illustrated. The airflow regulator 100 has a regulating device 1, regulating unit 2, and anoperating unit 3. The regulating device 1 has a plurality of fans forregulating air flow came out from an air outlet of an air conditioner.The regulating unit 2 is arranged to the regulating device 1 to spreador shut the regulating device 1. The operating unit 3 is arranged to theregulating unit 2 to drive the regulating unit 2 so as to control theregulating device 1.

With reference to FIGS. 2 to 5, an air conditioner 4 includes an airpipe Sand a diversion 6. The diversion 6 has a pipe joint 61 and adiversion plate 62. The air pipe 5 is connected to the pipe joint 61 ofthe diversion 6 so as to supply conditioned air from the air conditioner4 to the pipe joint 61. The conditioned air through the air pipe 5 willbe blown out through the diversion plate 62.

While the air flow regulator 100 is applied to the diversion 6 of theair conditioner 4, the regulating device 1 is arranged inside the pipejoint 61 of the air flow guiding portion 6. The operating unit 3 ispassed through a through hole 621 on a center of the diversion plate 62so as to connect the regulating unit 2. Therefore, when the control unit3 is rotated, the regulating device 1 will be rotated through theregulating unit 2 so as to regulate the air flow. The operating unit 3has a index 31 on a bottom thereof, the index 31 matches to a scale 622on the diversion plate 62. Therefore, users will know the status of theregulating device 1 through the index 31 and the scale 622 of thediversion plate 62.

While adjusting the air flow of the air conditioner 4, the user canrotate the operating unit 3 of the present invention so as to spread orshut the regulating device 1 to regulate the air flow out from the airconditioner 4. Moreover, the user can indentify the air flow by theindex 31 and the scale 622.

The present invention is thus described, it will be obvious that thesame may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regardedas a departure from the spirit and scope of the present invention, andall such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art areintended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

1. An air flow regulator for air conditioner arranged to an air outletof an air conditioner having an air pipe and a diversion comprising: aregulating device arranged to the diversion of the air conditioner forregulating air flow coming out from the air outlet; a regulating unitarranged to the regulating device to control the regulating device; andan operating unit arranged to the regulating unit to drive theregulating unit.
 2. The air flow regulator for air conditioner asclaimed in claim 1, wherein the regulating device has a plurality offans.
 3. The air flow regulator for air conditioner as claimed in claim1, wherein a scale is arranged to the diversion of the air outlet toshow the status of the regulating device.
